Measure the diameter of what you are replacing and match that size and shape in the chart.

I'm looking to install the Taylor Made Gunwale Guards on a Dyer Dingy. The wooden gunnel made of wood is about 1.5&quot; on all three sides. What size and type (half or three-quarter) would you recommend? Thanks.

I'm sorry but I cannot answer your question. I only ordered the gunwhale my customer asked for and have no idea what his dinghy is like.Best of luck,Belinda

I am restoring a small dinghey salvaged from hurricane Sandy. It has mahogany gunwales and I am looking to put the canvas with foam rubber along the gunswales. I was told by a boatbuilder to use monel staples along the length and stainless seel screws with finish washers for the ends on the transom. Does this sound appropriate? Can I buy the length I need and not a whole 50' roll?Walt in Rowe MA.

We used this gunwale guard on aluminium dinghy. It is exceptionally good, fixed as you describe

I'd use bronze screws. Staples may be quicker to install but will pull out when you run into a dock. I don't know if you can buy exact length

The plan for the fastenings sounds fine. I believe the store sells custom cut lengths up to 50ft in 1-1/4&quot; 3/4 round, and in 1-1/2&quot; half round. I have some of the 3/4 round, totally unused, from a prior job. How much do you need? (I'm forbidden to send you my phone or email in this post.), BTW, peeling off the rubber from the canvas for the transom ends is facilitated by using acetone.

how does this product attach?

howe attached with aluminium rivets and washers to our first dinghy.we now have a new dinghy and plan to attach this lot with aluminium rivets that have a wide lip, so no need for the washers.either way, it works well and protects your boat and anything that comes alongside.

What is the best method to attach the gunnel guard, i.e. do I screw down the bottom and wrap up? How tight?

I screwed in the top edge with bronze screws and wagers (also from JD). Them held it down and screwed in the bottom edge. Note that you can &quot;tack&quot; on place with a screw every 12-18&quot; first and then oh back to finish up. Makes the final part fly by. Space screws about 6&quot; apart and specially if underlying material is tho or weak, stagger the screw placement top then bottom then top. (So there is a screw every 3&quot; inches 1 on top, 1 on bottom.

I am redoing Century boat and am looking for the black foam rubber to use under Vinyl for the combing 1 1/2 x 3/4 x 1/2 round?

We used the Taylor made material. It is brilliant. Would recommend it

Thanks Winthrop. I am looking for just the foam So that we can cover with Vinyl If any one knows of a source please let me know .Thanks Dennis

I&quot;m not entirely sure what the question is, but the Taylor gunnel guard is black foam rubber covered with canvass, not vinyl. Good luck. Win B.

The rubber in this product is soft, more like foam insulating hose. The fabric is alreading starting to fail after using it for 2 years

to terminate the guard...I need to remove the rubber and fold the canvas back under itself. is there an easy way to remove the rubber? it is really tough and solidly impregnated into the canvas.

Sorry, I don't recall ending the bumper to be a problem. It seemed to apply quite easily and does a great job on my dinghy.

That's the hardest part. Acetone will dissolve the bond between the rubber and the fabric. Best wishes,

WINTHROP BURR

it is ok to remove the rubber with a trimming knife, we did and it was fine. this is an excellent product, sturdy and strong.

How do most people attach the gunwale guards?

walter lewis

2013-04-30

Stainless screws with finishing washers is normal method I have seen most... (actually only method I have ever seen on a boat)...On a dock I have seen it nailed with galvanized roofing nails.

What's the right dimension of this to wrap the gunwhale of a Boston Whaler Montauk 17'?

Undisclosed

2013-04-04

While I don't know which product is suitable for the Whaler, I'd suggest that you do what I did which was to order a short sample of the products that might work. I ordered and 18&quot; sample of two different gunnal guards and it became clear which one to use.

Great gunnel bumpers.

I struggled a bit with this: First, I was confused about how to measure. In retrospect, I should have cut off and mailed in a sample of the gutter guard I was removing. (Staff on the telephone were extremely helpful but were not able to overcome my confusion.) Second, I did not know it would have two finished ends, which saves me a step of adding the little end covers. If I had understood that I would have measured it a bit shorter.
